A CHILD IN THE RAIN

A CHILD IN THE RAIN OUT BY THE BAR
WAITS FOR HER DADDY, PASSED OUT IN THE CAR
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR UNTIL HE WAKES UP
THEY HAVE TO GO HOME, ITπS NOT VERY FAR

HE GIVES HER THE KEYS AND ASKS HER TO DRIVE
SHE DOES WHAT SHE CAN BUT SHEπS ONLY FIVE
ITπS GETTING HARDER AND ITπS GONNA GET WORSE
THAT NIGHT THE UNIVERSE OPENS WIDE

AND A HAND REACHES DOWN OUT OF THE SKY
AND PICKS UP THE CAR, LIFTS IT UP HIGH
AND A GREAT BIG GIRAFFE PINK AS THE INSIDE OF YOUR STOMACH
TURN HERSELF INSIDE OUT AND THE CAR SLIDES DOWN HER THROAT AND OUT HER MOUTH

GOING HOME, IN A LITTLE GIRLπS MIND
THEYπRE GOING HOME, BETWEEN THE SPACE AND THE TIME
IN THE WINK OF AN EYE A DREAM COMES TRUE
DADDY WHY DID I DREAM OF YOU?

DADDY, DADDY, WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE YOU GO AWAY?
DADDY, DADDY, IπM MISSING YOU, I WANT YOU TO COME OUT AND PLAY
BUT YOUR DADDYπS PLAYING WITH THE DAISY SMELL
PUSHING íEM UP FROM HIS BEDROOM IN HELL

ALONE IN THE RAIN A LITTLE GIRL STANDS
OUT BY THE BAR
THE NEON IS WHISTLING, THE COLD DARK NIGHT
HAS ROLLED IN PRETTY FAR

SHEπS GOT NOTHING BUT TIME, HER DADDYπS ON HER MIND
SHE GOES IN AND TUGS AT HIS SLEEVE
CRYING DADDY, SWEET DADDY, MOMMAπS MAKING DINNER
AND ITπS TIME FOR US TO LEAVE

LETπS GO HOME, IN A LITTLE GIRLπS MIND
THEYπRE GOING HOME, BETWEEN THE SPACE AND THE TIME
IN THE WINK OF AN EYE A DREAM COMES TRUE
OH, DADDY WHY DID I DREAM OF YOU?

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45 ... more
